Enrico, i have never been able to master the brisket i have tried twice, they were still eaten but no where as juicy and never a smoke ring like that, well done.
Awesome job Enrico. It's kind of like riding a bike or getting a golf ball into the air for the first time. One you learn how to do it (in this case, to tell when the brisket is ready) it's easy!.
Excellent job Enrico! One question? Why did you put ashes in the pan? You would think the drippings from the brisket would have the ashes fall on the meat. Wouldn't it be better to just fill the pan with water. That way you eliminate that other water pan also. Just my opinion. ( for what it's worth).
